Nothing can be built without some excavation and transfer of soil
(or rock) from one part of a site to another and this makes
earthworks the most common product of civil engineering operations.
Although normally seen as major structures, such as earth fill dams
or large highways or railway embankments, the majority of
earthworks are connected with minor civil works and building
construction. Whatever the type of work, the principles are the
same. Earthworks: a guide accumulates information on topics that
are essential to earthworks engineering. After a brief historical
review, Earthworks: a guide establishes the essential theoretical
background to the compaction process and describes some commonly
available fills, including industrial materials, both from the
construction and the in-service viewpoints. The guide continues
with a description of design construction control and monitoring
procedures for earth fills, noting that design and control in
earthworks are intimately linked. This second edition is updated
for changes to standards, legislation and specifications, as well
as technological advances.
